En Alemania me ha dado por ver la entrada en la wikipedia de por qué dimitió el Ministro de Defensa alemán
Guttenberg plagiarism scandal refers to the German political scandal that led to the resignation of Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg as Minister of Defence of Germany over the plagiarism of his doctoral dissertation. The first accusations of plagiarism in Guttenberg's dissertation were made public in February 2011. Guttenberg's doctoral dissertation, "Verfassung und Verfassungsvertrag" ("Constitution and Constitutional Treaty"), had been the basis of his 2007 Doctorate from the University of Bayreuth.[1][2] Guttenberg at first denied intentional plagiarism, calling the accusations "absurd," but acknowledged that he may have made errors in his footnotes.[3][4][5] In addition, it emerged that Guttenberg had requested a report from the Bundestag's research department, which he had then inserted into his thesis without attribution.[6] On 23 February 2011, Guttenberg apologized in parliament for flaws in his thesis, but denied intentional deception and denied the use of a ghostwriter.[7]
On 23 February 2011, the University of Bayreuth withdrew Guttenberg's doctorate.[8][9] In part due to the expressions of confidence by Angela Merkel, the scandal continued to evoke heavy criticism from prominent academics, legal scholars (who accused Guttenberg of intentional plagiarism), and politicians both in the opposition and in the governing coalition.[10][11][12] On 1 March 2011, Guttenberg announced his resignation as Minister of Defense, from his seat in the Bundestag, and from all other political offices.[13]
In May 2011, a University of Bayreuth commission tasked with investigating Guttenberg's dissertation came to the conclusion that Guttenberg had engaged in intentional deception in the writing of his dissertation, and had violated standards of good academic practice.[14][15] The commission found that he had included borrowed passages throughout his thesis, without citation, and had modified those passages in order to conceal their origin.[16][17]
Repasemos las etapas:
- a) Te acusan de plagio en tu tesis doctoral:
- Niegas plagio intencional, acusaciones absurdas
- Aunque admites que hay errores en las citas al pie
- b) Aparece que hay un informe oficial fusilado en la tesis
- Compareces en el parlamento pero niegas intencionalidad y niegas el uso de un negro (estamos en esta etapa)
ahora lo que sigue es lo que ocurrió en Alemania
- c) La universidad te retira el títuo de doctor (INFLEXION, aquí no pasará)
- Defensores a ultranza provocan un rechazo fuerte de sectores académicos y de políticos en la oposición y ya de la coalición de gobierno.
- d) Guttembert renuncia al cargo de Ministro de Defensa, su escaño y otras responsabilidades políticas.
- e) La universidad realiza una comisión de investigación que llega a la conclusión de que hubo un plagio intencional y que se violaron estándares de buenas prácticas académicas: básicamente se copiaron párrafos a lo largo de la tesis sin citar y que se modificaron para ocultar su origen.
Aquí sin embargo, no es plagio por que no cogió la tesis de otro y la puso a su nombre (oído hoy al tal Berlín de EP), "solo se le olvidó poner unas comillas", "qué son 300 o 400 palabras..." (Adriana Lastra)
Y esto es la diferencia entre España y Alemania.
